Bond markets were buoyed late yesterday and prices continued to move higher today on the strength of the retail sales news. "I think the retail sales number was taken as very convincing by the market," said analyst Elliott Piatt of Donaldson Lufkin Jenrette. "The fact that the economy looks so weak has made people more optimistic" about a decline in rates, he said. William M. Griggs of J.

Henry Schroder Bank and Trust Co. agreed today that financial markets placed great significance on the retail sales figures, but termed those statistics "a pretty thin reed to hold on to." "IT DOES REFLECT that the consumer could not continue to hold (spending) at such high levels and had to he said. "But over the rest of the week, we will get the housing, industrial production, personal income and capacity utilization figures. You've gotten some pretty modest results from these recently so you have the potential for these numbers to be stronger, or at least no weaker, and that could change the market's mind," said Griggs.

Now that the city is rezoning again to encourage builders to get away from bulky boxes and let more light reach street level, the still incomplete Hmes design "fits the formula well," Burgee said.
